I'll be very pleased if we get Andre Gomes. Very good player.

Juventus secure Andre Gomes
By Football Italia staff

Juventus are said to have secured Valencia midfielder Andre Gomes for next season in a deal worth €30m.

The Bianconeri need to act on the transfer market because Claudio Marchisio is ruled out for six months by an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Andre Gomes is the ideal alternative because not only can he fill in for Marchisio, but he can also play in deeper or more advanced roles, including the trequartista Max Allegri has been asking for.

The Portugal international has been on the Juve radar for some time, but Marchisio’s injury forced director general Beppe Marotta to step up the pace.

This deal is expected to be worth €25m to €30m and his wages are still considered affordable by the Bianconeri.

Andre Gomes turns 23 in July and has five senior caps for Portugal to his name.

Valencia only signed him outright from Benfica in July 2015 for €15m, having kept him on loan for a season first.

It should have been pretty obvious for a couple months now we needed some refreshments for defense.

Licht's inconsistency. Barzagli's age. And Chiellini's proneness to injury now.

I'd go along with that but the absolute priority as so many have said in the last 48 hours, is the need to add one, preferably two, world class defenders given the circumstances.
priority is an AM to give us more counter attacking capabilities. if we renew evra and barzagli, we just need a good RB to challenge lichtsteiner

@Mark - what have you heard so far?
Gomes, F. Anderson but links have cooled down and don't know if our club likes what he's doing now, Berardi, Diawara, Lapadula, Caprari and other kids for the future, if Morata goes/Cavani/Batshuayi/Embolo, if Cuadrado goes/Vrsaljko/Widmer/Fabinho, De Sciglio......Caio/Benatia/Mustafi/

No it isn't.

Evra is 35, Barzagli is 35, Lichsteiner is 32, Chiellini will be 32. We have 1 defender under the age of 25, and that is Rugani. That is a recipe for disaster unless they do something.

Where have most of the injuries taken place this year? On the defense. This squad has always been built from the back.

Rugani is definatly stepping up, let's give him a chance rather than buying someone like benatia.
Obviously, Rakib. That still doesn't give us the security & depth we need to man all these injuries & age isn't reversing. We need to refresh the backline. Don't forget Caceres is gone.

I reckon andre gomes can be the perfect allegri amc for us, one that can also play as cm; he, pogba and dybala is quite a good combination in 4312, not sure if gomes can play in 352 with pogba and another cm though

How credible 30m-Gomes rumours are?

What we need is il nuovo Caceres. Someone that can literally play anywhere on the backline as backup.

Sign me Bruno Peres for RB and a new CB and we are golden for the Defense next year.

Any nice CB's in the pipeline from Primavera?

And if Gomes is done then we are set for midfield. And if Berardi is done we are set for attack. If Morata leaves then we can replace him.

Priority is the backline and a backup for Buffon if Neto leaves.

I prefer Widmer over Peres and anyone else that we can get. Younger than Peres and Vrsaljko, defensively superior to Peres and miles ahead of Vrsalko in regards to crossing.

As far as a CB is concerned, just get a good one that is at least reasonably young. And preferably left footed.
